Comic #147: Marketing Research Failure

I went through and colored each individual rock with markers with the intention of selling them in place of the clay flowers. On the first day that I opened shop after preparing almost two dozen of these “decorative stones,” who is the first person to walk by the shop but the very neighbor whose yard I had swiped the stones from in the first place. Coincidentally enough she had been wondering where the rocks had been disappearing to over the past couple days.

I lost my video game privileges for a couple weeks for this little stunt. Fun times!

Also, this is the first “Hidden Einhorn” in a page of Peter & Company. Once I started doing art streams online, a mascot was adopted for the channel in the form of Einhorn, a goofy-looking unicorn. On this page you can see him on one of the rocks that Peter made. I decided to start hiding him in random spots after this point, so keep an eye open and see if you can spot them all throughout the rest of the series.

I want the prince to be a legit good guy I really do, but the apple rarely falls far from the tree

Drayven is either one of the most charismatic, nice and honorable people ever or just of the biggest f***ing liars ever. I mean honestly; have you ever heard of an honest politician? He knows how to put on a show, but what will happen when it’s time to actually do something important? And how experienced is he? Does he know what he’s getting himself into? Being king looks nice on paper, but the real thing is much harder. And even if he has good intentions now, well… let’s just say that power is the most addictive drug there is. But what I’m trying to say is: I really hope this doesn’t turn into Game of Thrones. But, just in case it does, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjzC2DRgEo4
I’ll… show myself out now. ^^;

all I can say is at least some people update the outfits to look more realistic and believable. Take the Olivier Coipel redesign of Thor for example. Instead of looking like he’s wearing tights, he has leather and chain mail on (at least I think it’s chain mail), and that’s the look they went for in the live action films.

OK, I got to admit, Thor looked pretty cool in those movies (except maybe for the helmet. Not a big fan of the helmet). And, hell, most of the newer superhero models look awesome too. But I was talking about how the superheroes from the older comic books/animated series look. They look less like crime-fighting, world-saving bad-asses and more like, well… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W19wr5rXVHk

Thankfully, no. Though he does speak like his parents weaned him on lead paint, and his teeth seem to get more misshapen with each subsequent page.

Yea, verily. I was really impressed with the way they redesigned Captain America for the new films; let’s face it, the 1990 version with Matt Salinger looked like a discount Halloween costume. I also liked the way they designed Scarecrow and Robin for the recent video games. =)

That’s just what I was thinking. How would that have gone if Drayven lost? Hell, even if he just got close to losing.
All I know is that it takes more than a little inherent viciousness to lash out with body parts during a sword fight, especially a practice. Not that that makes him evil, but something to consider.
